At first it was annoying but then I realized it was more of a compliment that people liked what I did so much so that they wanted to do the same.

Pirate,

Thanks for letting me know, that's a compliment.

And yes, that is the RDS speedo/headlap relocator and fits perfectly, no clearance issues at all. The only advise is considering that for this set up you will also need a led indicator bar which is sold sold separetely (if you want to keep the ligth indicators functionality) and also a set of clamp risers. I used all 3 parts from RDS but there are more alternatives for clamping.

Notice the lenght of the risers will determine the height of the drag bar so choose wisely.

I don't mind either. Cheers.

You are quite welcome. My plan since last summer was to use the spedo bracket, lights and risers from RSD and the HD drag bar. Just haven't seen too many bikes with the setup I was looking for and had questions. Thanks for the advice.

Nice, the RDS speedo setup is a little expensive but worth it if what you want is looks. One last thing I forgot to mention is about mirrors. They will be too low. I looked for options and actually tried some small lateral mirrors on but didn't like them. What I finally did was heating up the mirror supports with a powerful heat gun and just bent them a little backwards, that did the trick. If you ever try this make sure you heat it up well enough or you will break it.
